Often they are my attempt (and hopefully I succeed sometimes) to illustrate that victims of things (anything from sexual or physical attacks to emotional or behavioral disorders) CAN overcome or find the strength to live with what has happened to them. As I write each character (especially females) I try to write them as if I am "them" and dig into the emotions they might have or actions they might exhibit. It's been my process from the first story I ever wrote and for some reason, stories/characters such as these, were always what naturally came to me to write. It felt like I never had a choice, I simply had to write them like I do. Each book I finish I feel like I lose a friend or sister that I've been through a journey with, and it's hard to move on to a new one.... until that next one begins to feel like a part of me. I think because I feel so invested in them, it makes any pain or difficulty in writing about them bearable. Like I owe it to them to write them as I do. Which might sound crazy but that is how each book feels for me. Again, thank you for this questions. It touched my heart to know someone else "felt" what I tried to convey in the written word through my characters.(less)

I can't tell you how happy that makes me. I loved writing both series and it was so hard to finish them and move on to another series, after spending so long with all the different characters and overlapping families of the Sister Series. The epilogue by Jessie, though short, is my most favorite thing I've ever written, and the only thing I've teared up over when I wrote it. It's so gratifying to get your reaction to it!! Thank you so much for reading and even moving with another of my series. :)

Becca caught my interest from book number two when her insecurity made her so fragile due to a lifelong learning disability that made reading difficult and therefore all of her schooling hard and mostly unsuccessful. She didn't have parental help orBecca caught my interest from book number two when her insecurity made her so fragile due to a lifelong learning disability that made reading difficult and therefore all of her schooling hard and mostly unsuccessful. She didn't have parental help or guidance and it was left to her big sister Alia to first notice her issues, and then help her. The influence wasn't enough to fully make up for the damage it did to her self-confidence. Now, however, Becca is all grown up and she's trying to embrace a new version of herself in Becca, 2.0. I loved her growth to this more confident, decisive and secure woman. She also is still a virgin and annoyed with this and realizes it's far past time to correct this.

Enter her friend Griff who is someone she is both attracted to and comfortable with. He's friends with her sister and brother-in-law, and it's at a game night something changes between them and the sparks fly and grow and it's decided: he's going to help her solve her virginity problem.

Which he does and does so well... there's no way they are going to follow their own "rules" for her deflowering and do it again... but first they have to figure it out and there is a unexpected emotional connection that forms after this that's far beyond the hot sex they find together.

Griff has own issues with PTSD and flashbacks that Becca witnesses first hand which also incorporates the pain his ex-wife caused him, but Becca is convinced he still loves her.

The book explores their deepening connection as they soon realize what they share is far deeper than a one night learning session for Becca. Griff seems to be one of the few who see's past Becca's learning disability as a problem and tries to help her see the gift she could give to others in her compassion and understanding for what they go through. He encourages her to tutor students with him and shows Becca how far she's come from the fragile teen who didn't know herself.

This book touched my heart and mostly it's Becca for me. As someone who has a child with a learning disability it's hard to explain to others who haven't witnessed it, the damage it can do to their self esteem and inner self. I loved how well done this aspect of Becca was done and also having her find a new and stronger self as she's growing and realizing what she has to offer others. I also loved the moment she realizes she can help other kids because she's been there... and in the end how Becca finds Becca 3.0 and by then the journey to her is amazing. I loved this book and highly recommend it....more

Preview — Wrong to Need You
by Alisha Rai

“You hardly asked if I was okay the entire time we were together.” (Jessie)

“Okay? You wanted me to ask you if you were okay? Jessie, I saw you! How could I think for one second you were okay? Do you think it’s normal for me to watch a girl being raped from the roof? But I was there, loaded down with enough guns to do some serious damage. And what did I do about it? Nothing. Because I could do nothing, because my sole goal was to get you safely out of there. So I sat and watched it… for hours. I let them do that to you. I heard you. I saw you. And eventually, I had to turn away. I couldn’t watch it. It was that bad. I know why you’re not okay. I don’t have to ask why.” (Will)”

“He was a jackass to nearly have kissed her last night, but that was all. It was a moment, one in which he easily got carried away because of how she looked up at him with liquid-filled, blue eyes that nearly drowned his soul.”
